Daymare Town

Hard!
I have a coin, cloth, screwdriver, lighter, book, and am officially stuck. Don't know what to do with any of them!
I have two of the Chinese puzzle blocks, and put them in place in the Town hall.

Unsure if this kind of stuff is meant to be in spoilers, but better safe than sorry. Anyone have any idea what the rock and scissors are meant to do or what the point of giving the golden egg to the little prisoner guy was?

Davient, I recall getting the plain square this way: behind the picture of the house in one of the floors of the elevator, there is a "piece of paper". You gotta click on the stone that's on the table with the scissors to lift it, then put the "piece of paper" under it before it falls, and thus the stone will break (?!), inside it is the plain square. But I have trouble finding the square with the square-shaped hole... Can anyone tell me?

can't find the second to last puzzle piece going from left to right, on the side of the stairs with the handle and machinery.
Also, what is the use for the cloth, the lighter, the screwdriver, and the coin? Are both of my answers the same thing?

the book house, i think it is on the 1st floor but i cant quite remember now, it could be on -1. it is rolled up and hard to see so look carefully

and can anyone help me?

i have the lighter, hook on string, small coin, the screwdriver, sinkmouth key and the small cloth. I need the last 2 puzzle pieces (the square with a square cut out of it and the one that looks like a reversed C. I am stuck on the box (in the second office on the right) and the passage with a terrible smell in the main square.

Congratulations~
You have just left Daymare Town...

I don't think it was his hardest game in terms of puzzle difficulty, I just think it was his hardest in terms of pixel hunting. Of course once you start using TAB that difficulty goes away. If I had been using TAB from the beginning I don't think I would have needed a hint at all, but I suppose there's no way to know.
I hope the fact that

the little guy crosses the bridge to a new town

at the end of the game means that there will be a sequel! Style was very cool. No more bird hunts though please ;)

OKay, so i was tryin to get the guy that was locked up free so i clicked on him and heard his... gabble, so i thought he is saying something. i went to the voice recorder, recorded him, and slowed it down. guess what i heard :)

Hi,
I think it's a lovely little game, even though
a) I'm not all that keen on point-and-click doodahs
b) I'll have to look at some of these spoilers later on to get any further.
I guessed the "scissor - stone - paper" connection, but still didn't figure it out.
Fiendish, but fun!
Greetings all round

His artwork is so ingrained in me now this game plays just as lucid as the Submachines. I like his rough drawing a lot because it's easier for him to hide things and create red herrings.

I tried without hints and finished, but without the secret. I couldn't release the captive. And I can only find 4 birds. (I didn't know there were more till I finished and read that post up there. Was that an egg in a skinny nest way up on top of a rooftop I saw from the captives' window?
That little critter sitting near the sink shocked me a bit. I didn't see him there during the short effort I made earlier this morning.

However I must proceed in my grumpy manner. This game is one large pixel-hunt, made into extreme with the (otherwise really great and atmospheric) choice of artwork. Making progress in this game invariably means careful mouse-sweeping of each screen or using the TAB cheat (which for me sadly doesn't work).

Otherwise, a pretty enjoyable game, but for me pretty unplayable without a walkthrough. Kudos to people who like clicking every insignificant squibble on every screen, but I really don't have time for such a thing.

Geez... whew I really like the rest of his games, but this one... ehhh... I dunno. Good game, just too much suspense/scaryness in it for me. yeah... You say nothing scary? well... for me...

As I explored the town, seeing the Librarian (the furry dude) in random places, then not seeing him when I clicked there kinda spooked me, and when I clicked the sink in the torture room in the armory after seeing him a few times, when the "dunnnnnn" sound went off and the librarian was sitting there in the corner, crud it scared the heck outta me... mainly because he wasn't there before

Although the fact that he killed the TAB key cheat was cool because most escape game designers don't do that, thus he made it a heck of a lot harder for someone like me. good game though. as I said, just not the kind of escape game I can play. I mean, what I explained in the spoiler sent shivers up and down my spine, something I'm not used to, nor like. meh.

Oh yeah, in case you want a hint as to what I said in in the spoiler without reading it, Fummy said it all

Don't know if you're still reading these posts, but you probably are since you removed the TAB cheat. Just wanted to make a little clearer something I hinted at in my last post, in case you care: you claimed this was your hardest point-and-click to date. I contend that difficulty in finding where to click isn't "hard" per se, just tedious. Your Submachine puzzles were much more creative, although I think I enjoy the world you created for Daymare Town even more than the one for Submachine (which I wouldn't have thought possible at the time!)

Anyway, I think you're incredibly talented at coming up with really creative ways to fill a puzzle world, so please don't go down the path of pixel hunters and consider it an improvement.

The sad thing is, folks who played with the TAB cheat got a much more satisfying experience. Was Skutnik's intention really to make the player carefully mouse-sweep each and every location? Because that's not "hard", that's pretty much my definition of "tedious".

But if Mateus really insists on pixel hunts, can there be at least an audio clue when a hotspot is near? Wind rising up, a squeak, whatever, just to make the searching process a little bit easier and less time-consuming.

move the mouse outside of the active playing frame. click outside of the playing area. do not move the mouse back into the playing field. push tab. moving the mouse back into the playing field will necessitate beginning the process again.

i concur that the birds are perhaps too elusive without tab - but then again - the birds are an enticement to see everything/do everything/be everything, and have that warm fuzzy feeling that accompanies all of those things.

The atmosphere was good, the sound helped it, but my problem was differentiating certain clickable objects from the lines around it. I was just about to give up and consult a walkthrough before I clicked randomly in one place and found something I could use. I enjoyed Covert Front more, and thanks to these games, I'm getting better at this point-n-clickery.

Area - City Hall pt. 1
1: Go inside city hall
1a: Click in the top middle of the screen, then halfway up the left side of the wall for bird 6
Do you mean halfway up the wall of the hallway? I'm lost. I need clarification. T.T

Area - City Hall pt. 1 1: Go inside city hall 1a: Click in the top middle of the screen, then halfway up the left side of the wall for bird 6. Do you mean halfway up the wall of the hallway? Or like on the ground, or somthing?

"Area - City Hall pt. 1 1: Go inside city hall 1a: Click in the top middle of the screen, then halfway up the left side of the wall for bird 6. Do you mean halfway up the wall of the hallway? Or like on the ground, or something?"
It's actually the crossbeam you have to click first in City Hall.

OMG!!! What the heck!!! Geez...this game is scary as soon as i started playing this game i thought "this will be a cool game to play" then came my encounter!!! I don't know what the heck this thing was but I was looking through the window in the armoury and I got down and there was this "thing" sticking it's head or something around the wall/doorframe (I jumped!!!) It then disappeared and I froze and I looked around it and there...was...nobody there. Can anyone please tell me what that thing was?!

Nevermind, I figured out what the problem was. I was playing the game through Facebook, and it cuts off the top part of the window, so there was no way I could find bird 6 to click on it anyways! I opened the game through the link on this page and it works now.

atombonds I did not say anything was in the well I said the WALL in the armoury.anyway what is it? this little black guy that appears in random place's like when you put the cursor over him he runs away and you hear a scuttling noise.can anyone tell me who or what he is?

i was really enjoying this game like crazy- the drawings are wonderful (the characters look like Tove Jansson illustrations and the scenery is really charming) and the gameplay is good and everything
and then i accidentally hit the paypal donate button which opens in the same window, which is such a tiny petty stupid little problem and so, so, so, so frustrating to have happen.

omg what the heck does the dumb side puzzle do? i dont get it at all... why did s/he (i dunno which i dont pay atention) put that dumb thing in there anyway!?

by the way. those who're stuck on the 6th bird, click on the top-middle in the hallway screen after you clicked onthe hallway to go to the end of it. you should see a bunch of pillars going across the walls. just go slowly up the corner of the left wall and you should find it. s-----l-----o-----w-----l-----y

when you click on the picture of the house if you look closely there is a tiny bird sitting on the rough in the photo... click on it and you have your bird... dont forget to look behind the frame if you havent already

Hi! This is one of my first point and click escape games, and I love it. I just can't find the last puzzle piece and even though I found all the birds in the walkthrough, I still can't get the egg. For the city hall bird try

click the rafter in the hallway with all the doors, then hover over all the boards until you can click and that's where the bird is

Okay, I figured it out! Hooray! I know there is a walkthrough, but I thought it would be helpful to have these if you get stuck in solving....

Puzzle

P1: Use hook/string to get it out of the sewer in front of the City Hall.
P2: The little puzzle in the wall on the -2 floor of the Book House.
P3: Smash the paper so it breaks the rock on the -2 floor in the Book House.
P4: The upstairs on the podium in the armory AFTER you put the plate in the front of the building.
P5: In the torture room of the armory, the scary guy gives it to you after you give him the book.
P6: The guy in the passage gives it to you after you give him the coin.
P7: The safe in the office in the City Hall.

The Birds:

B1: From the main screen, click on the sky, then hover over the roof to the right until you can click, then you'll find the bird.
B2: From the main screen, click on the ledge on the lower left hand building.
B3: In the Armory, go to the room on the right and click the upper right corner of the ceiling to look up a little hole, then again on the tunnel.
B4: In the Book House on the 1 floor, there is a picture of a house. There is a little bird on the roof of the house, click on it.
B5: On the -1 floor of the Book House, there is a room full of books. On the right bottom section of the shelf, there is a book you can click on. The bird is in there.
B6: In the main hall of the City Hall, click on the rafter and hover over the boards until you can click.
B7: In the 3rd office on the right in the City Hall, click on the upper right corner, then click on the nest.
B8: In the City Hall, go through the hallway, then to the left and click twice so you are looking at a window/circle, click up at the top of the screen, then in the last hole on the right.
B9: Continue from the last screen so that you are looking at the bridge contraption, then click on the bottom left banister.
B10: In the tree outside the window of the room where the guy is chained to the wall.

Help please.. I've found all 10 birds, gave the egg to the man and pretty much completed all the task except for 1!! I;m left with a book... what do I do with it? There is no man in the torture room (at the armory)??

Such a fascinating game. Yes, it's frustrating, and my patience ran low, but in the end I figured it out (with a little bit of help, of course)! When I was a little kid I would watch my dad play Myst and this was happily similar.

Rock paper scissors... I get what I am supposed to do but I am unable to do so.
Perhaps because I am only using a laptop touch pad and not an external mouse.
Is there any further instruction I may need to know because as far as I can tell I should be getting results.
